Chapter 241 Is Kaifeng Manor Don't Want Face?
"It's really too cheap for them."
After sending Li Guozhong and others away, Xu Zhiqian's words almost didn't make Fan Li and Qiu Zhengwen fall on the spot.
"Enough! Enough!"
Fan Li said again and again: "This is already very difficult, not to mention our Er Bi, even the imperial court has never recovered the 50 guan fine, er, er."
He no longer knew how to describe this intentional settlement contract.
As a matter of fact, Zhang Fei has tried this trick before, but the amount he can claim in the end is often very limited.
Not a sky-high price in the monetary sense.
As far as the claim against Wei Yushan is concerned, that is only superficial.
And this time, it is definitely a sky-high claim.
Break all previous records.
The key opponents are all super landlords in Tokyo, which was unimaginable in the past.
Zhang Fei glanced at Fan Li, who couldn't speak clearly, chuckled, and said to Xu Zhiqian: "In the matter of negotiation, we can't just look at how much the other party pays, but also how much we get."
Xu Zhiqian was taken aback, "Isn't what the other party compensated us what we got?"
"Absolutely not."
Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "Our employer's income is far more than 50 yuan, and the significance is far-reaching."
Qiu Zhengwen on the side was very curious, "Third brother, what do you say?"
"You'll know then."
Zhang Fei gave a deep smile, and suddenly said: "Actually, the difference is almost the same. At least compared to our neighbors, it is still far behind. We still need to work hard."
Qiu Zhengwen was surprised when he heard that, "Neighbor? Who is it?"
Zhang Fei said: "Liao Kingdom!"
Fan Li, who was stunned for a while, finally came to his senses, and his face turned pale with fright, "Oh! Sanlang, please don't talk nonsense, if people listen to you, we can bear it."
Zhang Fei smiled and didn't continue talking.
Fan Li quickly changed the subject, "Then do you think Kaifeng Mansion can agree?"
Zhang Fei asked back, "When will it be Kaifeng's turn to decide?"
".?"
And a fruitful negotiation will satisfy both parties, even the one who pays will not feel a loss.
Like this time.
Although Li Guozhong and the others agreed to Zhang Fei's many "harsh" conditions.
But when Li Guozhong and the others brought the news back, those landlords were ecstatic and praised Li Guozhong and other tea eaters.
You guys are amazing.
specialized!
These seventy-seven eighty-eight losses, added up and shared equally, each person is less than [-] yuan.
value!
It's so worth it!
Isn't it ten thousand consistent?
Grandpa can afford it.
woo woo woo!
As for those scholar-bureaucrats, they all breathed a sigh of relief and were very willing to accept the price, and no one complained.
Because in this game, they lost so badly that they were completely manipulated by the little emperor.
There must be a price to pay.
And Zhang Fei represents the imperial court, and behind him are the little emperor and Wang Anshi.
He is willing to reconcile, which means that the emperor will not go into this case.
This is the best result.
As for money?
This little money is what it should be.
But this hanging heart has not been completely let go, because the two parties only signed a letter of intent, and the key depends on whether the Kaifeng government is willing to accept it.
Although they all expected that the Kaifeng Mansion would definitely agree, as long as the Kaifeng Mansion did not pronounce a sentence, it would be difficult for them to completely relax.
Therefore, they arrived at Kaifeng Mansion early in the morning of the second day.
Almost no one was sitting, all of them were standing, but no one was chatting, the atmosphere was quite weird, so when Su Shi, Su Zhe and others came here, they looked at the empty chairs, looked at the Both had dark circles under their eyes, and they couldn't help but feel their hairs standing on end.
What's happening here?
But they soon learned that Zhang Fei and Li Guozhong had arrived earlier, and they were discussing with Lu Gongzhu and others in the hall.
"Confess?"
Lu Gongzhu looked at Li Guozhong and others with a little surprise.
Li Guozhong nodded and said: "If you go back to the magistrate, Xiaomin's employers have realized the mistakes they made, and they are willing to plead guilty to the law and make compensation for the mistakes they made."
With the Kaifeng government, it cannot be called a reconciliation. After all, this case is tax evasion and an illegal act. If it is a reconciliation in name, it is a violation of the law, and it must be a confession.
Lu Gongzhu was a little puzzled, if you confess this crime, then according to the penalty, even if the death penalty is exempted, then the living crime is inevitable.
In the Song Dynasty, the punishment for tax evasion was actually very serious, the highest being Ling Chi.
At this time, Li Guozhong took out another confession letter and handed it over.
After reading the confession letter, Mr. Lu immediately understood what was going on.
The crimes above are very light, anyway, they will confess whatever Wang Anshi sued, and the compensation they are willing to make is far higher than the crimes they have admitted.
I have never seen such a sincere confession.
Mr. Lu couldn't help looking at Zhang Fei, cursing secretly, this brat is really capable!Shen Mei asked: "Zhang San, are you satisfied with this?"
Zhang Fei said: "We are very satisfied."
Li Kai, Cen Yuanli and the others were a little confused. How could you have the final say on this illegal matter? Could it be that his family really opened our Kaifeng mansion?
Lu Gong nodded his head, and said: "You go out first, we need to discuss it."
"Xiaomin retire."
After Zhang Fei and Li Guozhong withdrew.
Li Kai immediately complained: "Prefect Lu, what should be the verdict should be up to us, how can we allow them to decide."
In fact, they are also willing to end early, which is almost enough, but it is very important who decides.
Lu Gong wrote and sighed: "If it is in accordance with the law, we can't decide."
"what?"
All the judges are stupid.
Lu Gong wrote it and showed them the confession letter.
After Li Kai and the others looked at it, they looked at each other in blank dismay.
Yesterday, I almost hit the gate of hell. After this night, I went straight back to the world.
What's even more outrageous is that if only these crimes are counted, then this punishment should not be too excessive.
It doesn't match at all!
Yu Zaishen wondered: "Prefect, according to yesterday's trial, it's impossible to just charge for this crime. We can't say how they plead guilty, and we will sentence them. This... This will damage the prestige of our Kaifeng Prefecture."
Lu Gong asked, "Then what crime did they commit?"
Cen Yuanli said: "What about the tax notes and account books?"
In fact, they didn't want to take care of this matter and left it to the higher-ups to deal with it, but now they are still competing with Zhang Fei and the others.
Why do you have the final say.
Lu Gong said: "You can see clearly that the above list does not include Zhou Cai. And Du Shaojing and others did not show the tax bills. Although their names are on the account books, as long as they don't show the tax bills, then the It is the fault of the imperial court, and there is no evidence to prove that it is related to them."
Li Kai said again: "Yesterday, Du Shaojing already admitted the crime he committed."
Lu Gong said: "That's not what he admitted, but Zhang San's accusation, even Bai Qi's tax evasion was added by Zhang San, if Zhang San withdraws these lawsuits, then what do we have to convict? "
As soon as these words came out, Li Kai and the others were stunned.
Can you still do this?
Come to think of it, they were really helpless.
Leaving aside the background of the imperial court, the initiative is still in Zhang Fei's hands.
You must know that Wang Anshi's original complaint did not include tax evasion by Bai Deed. It was all added in the court by Zhang Fei, and it did not include the tax evasion land transferred to temples and Taoist temples. .
And this part of tax evasion is actually very small.
If the sentence is good, it can't be too severe.
The key is Zhang Fei, if he wants to prosecute these crimes, he has to fight. Zhang Fei has to prove that the judgment is in the hands of the Kaifeng government, but if Zhang Fei does not prosecute, then the other party will not violate the law.
If your Kaifeng government thinks they violated the law, you can investigate and try it yourself.
Zhang Fei cannot be forced to sue.
After all, Zhang Fei is not a prosecutor.
It can be seen that if it acts according to the law, Kaifeng Mansion will be bound hands and feet.
Li Kai felt that he was very humble again, "But what kind of words are like this, how to judge, whether it is light or heavy, it is all up to Zhang Fei to decide."
Mr. Lu hesitated and said: "We can also continue to review the case after the lawsuit is over. There must be clues from Zhou Cai's side."
Because there is no prosecuting party now, the Kaifeng government has the judicial power all in one body, and the other party in this case is already full of flaws, so the Kaifeng government can definitely try and investigate by itself.
But the problem is that Zhang Fei represents the imperial court. If the imperial court does not support it, it will be very difficult for the Kaifeng government to investigate the case to the end.
".!"
Li Kai and the others were unwilling again.
From their point of view, Zhang Fei got into trouble, he took the money away, and we come to wipe our ass, doing this dirty and tiring job, and offending others, that's even more unacceptable.
Li Kaidao: "Don't charge them any more."
"Even if this charge is added, their compensation is more than enough." Lu Gong thought for a while, and said: "The only thing we can do now is to fight for how to use this fine."
Li Kai and the others all looked happy.
If the fine of 50 guan can be won, it will be tantamount to cutting off!
Of course it can.
Lu Gong wrote and ordered Wang Anshi to be invited to the inner hall.
Lu Gong saw that Wang Anshi was not as good-looking, and said directly: "Our Kaifeng government has decided to accept their confession, and use this 50 guan fine to offset the taxes of those self-cultivated farmers who have been persecuted by them this year."
Wang Anshi was stunned, "This is the compensation claimed by the court, why should your Kaifeng government decide?"
Lu Gong said: "If you don't agree, I won't judge."
Wang Anshi excitedly said: "Uncle Hui, you are going too far, you are simply bending the law for personal gain."
Mr. Lu flinched, jumped up, and roared at Wang Anshi: "Whether it's me or you, if you want to sue, you can sue, if you want to withdraw, you should really consider Kaifeng Mansion to be opened by your family. That brat Zhang Fei is even more hateful, does he think he can cover the sky with one hand here?"
Facing the runaway Duke Lu, Wang Anshi still felt a little guilty, "Don't get excited, as the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, you have to act according to the law, and you have no reason not to be judged."
Lu Gong said: "Look if I have any."
Wang Anshi hesitated for a while, and said: "Half and half, I still plan to use this money to repair the river and compensate those servants. You know that I will promulgate a new law on servants soon."
Lu Gong wrote: "This money will be used to build rivers, and nine out of ten it will go into their pockets. How much can those servants get? It is the most real way to offset the taxes of the people. This money is still a lot of money. I don't care how the imperial court uses it.
Zhang San also made it very clear in court that the reason why Li Sancai and the others became their tenants was because they helped the landlords bear the taxes, and the money should be compensated to the self-cultivators who paid the taxes for them. "
He is not stupid, the court should spend money to hire people to build river channels, and if you use the money to hire people, the court is purely making a profit.
Wang Anshi dissatisfied: "You are too domineering."
Lu Gong said: "I want the money from the Kaifeng government, and we also want the reputation from the Kaifeng government. Don't you know how much you, Wang Jiefu, can get from this case? Once the case is judged, those landlords will have to go to make up for it." If you pay taxes, you can also take advantage of the opportunity to suggest that His Majesty reform the tenants, and those tenants don't all remember you, Wang Anshi, and you are the one who has gained both fame and fortune."
Wang Anshi saw that he couldn't talk to him, so he stood up straight away, "I don't understand the law, so I won't talk to you. I'll let my pen talk to you."
Lu Gong snorted and said, "It's the same for whoever comes."
